F4A253 Case of One4Joy

Hi Friends, This is a card made for a challenge on splitcoaststampers the day after Christmas. I was just way too busy to breathe this week - let alone do a card challenge but when I saw what it was I had to attempt it. This is a link to the challenge on Splitcoast The challenge was to find the gallery of a person whose cards you admire and who greatly encouraged you along the way when you first started. I knew without looking who this would be. When I first signed up I just watched for what seemed like forever. Sometimes I made a card, but never uploaded as I thought none of my cards were good enough - and I was NOT a beginner at making cards. When I finally did start to upload, the cards were not for MY pleasure but always for those who might see it and like it. (and maybe give a comment) Sometimes I made a card I really loved, but then thought no one else would like it so it never got put in my gallery. One day I came across the gallery of One4Joy. I LOVED Susan's wildly creative and always gorgeous cards and I admired her for being able to upload cards that were so different from most cards on the site. Her cards alone were an encouragement to me - even for a long time after I was uploading mine, and of course, Susan was always an encouragement!! The card of Susan's that I chose to case in her honor was this one. I sure had lots of fun digging in the button jar, but could NOT come up with a cute Christmas tree, so I plopped the buttons down on the rug and they seemed to look like an angel (Well...some people see things in clouds...) Smile So it's a little late, but this is a Christmas Angel bringing Good News, and as a Sign of the Times the Good News is computer generated.

Great, creative card Carol! I like your button angel and that you highlighted the snowflakes in gold which I see as her wings. Nice tribute to Susan. I have noticed Susan's work as she does think and create out of the box, which to me, is always a good thing. You do, too. :)
